This just in from the  Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. BTW we ,Sisters by the Shore, added the images!
It’s going to be very hot 🥵 over the next several days, and we’re asking everyone to take a few extra precautions to stay safe.
The National Weather Service Charleston has issued a Heat Advisory today from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for coastal portions of southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia, with heat index values up to 110°F.
An Extreme Heat Watch is in effect Thursday for coastal counties, where the heat index could reach 115°F. Thursday and Friday are expected to bring some of the hottest 🥵 🌞 🥵 ☀️ temperatures🌡️ of this heat wave, and additional heat advisories may be needed through the weekend.
A few reminders for you, your family and your neighbors:
💧 Drink plenty of 💦 water — don’t wait until you’re thirsty 😮💨
❄️ Stay cool — spend time indoors or in air conditioning whenever possible.
🌤️ Take it easy outside — save strenuous activities for cooler morning or evening hours and take frequent breaks.
🏠 Check on your neighbors — especially older adults, families with young children and anyone who may not have reliable air conditioning.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a vehicle, even for a few minutes. Don’t let your pets walk on hot 🥵 pavement, or sidewalks
⚠️ Know the signs of heat illness. Heavy 😓 weakness, dizziness😵💫 headache, nausea and muscle cramps can be signs of heat exhaustion. Confussion🤔 or loss of consciousness may indicate heat stroke — call 911 immediately.
